About this property

Luxury Ocean View Above Coco Beach - Concierge + Hot Tub + Daily Housekeeping

Casa Timlin is perfect for romantic getaways, families, couples, and friends celebrating something special.

Perched above Playa del Coco, this modern home is built around sweeping Pacific views, beautiful sunsets, and the simple pleasure of being together. It was designed around one idea: a home where you can unwind and feel completely comfortable sharing time with the people you love.

You may come to Costa Rica to explore, but you may end up deciding you'd rather stay home. Swim, prepare the catch of the day, or get the hot tub ready for another spectacular sunset. Many of our guests tell us their favorite part of the day is simply settling into the pool or hammock and watching the sun disappear over the Pacific.

But the experience goes beyond the house. I personally welcome guests on arrival. Reyna, our dedicated housekeeper, keeps the home fresh every day, cleans all rooms and update linens, and helps with local breakfasts and lunches on request. After a day exploring, she can also prepare a home-cooked Costa Rican dinner so you can come home, relax, and enjoy the evening without going back out.

Our concierge, Ian, will help you build the trip around what you actually want to experience, from a private sunset cruise and dinner on a secluded beach to fishing, waterfalls, massages, or simply finding the right local restaurant. His local knowledge means you don't have to figure it out yourself.

Casa Timlin isn't your typical vacation rental. It's a home built on 20+ years of learning what guests actually want in a luxury retreat. Today, a small team helps me perfect that for every family we have the honor of hosting. We're not focused on maximizing rentals. Our goal is delivering a high-quality experience, and our exceptional reviews are the result.

Today 30% of our guests are return visitors. We hope you'll enjoy Casa Timlin enough to become one of them.

Book your stay. We'll take care of the rest.

Pura Vida!

We had a fantastic experience at Casa Timlin! The owner met us at the house on check-in and helped us get acquainted with the home and various features. The location was perfect and views are incredible! Daily housekeeping and breakfast were part of the package, although we only utilized 2 days of the service. The pool was pristine and we really loved the solar hot tub, which was a first for us! Everything about our stay was top-notch and we would highly recommend Casa Timlin for anyone wanting a beautiful location, quick access to the surrounding beaches, and solitude.

I was very impressed by the overall condition of the house, the ease of check-in, and the availability of the host. Casa Timlin was exactly what we needed for our stay in Costa Rica. The house was very well stocked, even with items that you may not expect in a vacation rental such as spices, foil, and aluminum foil. We went out and explored most days, but always ended up back there to cook dinner and enjoy the beautiful pool and sunsets. Highly recommended.

First time to Costa Rica. Casa Timlin was fantastic. Beautiful infinity pool looking onto ocean sunset. Well located, close to beaches, activities, restaurants and only 45 min drive from Liberia Airport. Host was communicative and welcomed us on site. Reyna (maid/cook) was wonderful (first rental I've been with a daily maid service). Ian (the concierge) was helpful in recommending different activities for during our trip. Casa Timlin had everything and can't beat coming back to a sunset view after a full day of exploring Costa Rica.

If I could give Casa Timlin more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.I have been traveling and booking accommodations through VRBO for well over 10 years, and without question, this was the best experience I have ever had. We travel frequently and have stayed in countless vacation homes, resorts, and rentals in different cities and countries, but nothing has come close to the experience we had at Casa Timlin.From the very beginning, Tim was exceptional. His communication was outstanding even before we booked the property. He was responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we had everything we needed. He answered questions promptly, provided recommendations, and made us feel comfortable long before we arrived. Once our trip was confirmed, his level of service only got better. He even helped coordinate transportation from the airport to the house, making our arrival completely stress-free.When we finally arrived at Casa Timlin, we were blown away. The property is beyond breathtaking. The views are absolutely stunning, and the home itself looks like something straight out of a movie. Every room feels thoughtfully designed, and every detail contributes to the overall experience. The pictures are beautiful, but they still don't fully capture how incredible this place is in person.What made this stay so special wasn't just the house itself—it was the entire experience. Casa Timlin truly embodied everything we imagined Costa Rica to be.

About the host

Hosted by Tim

Host profile image
Originally from the Washington, D.C. area, I left a corporate career and set out on a life-changing journey to Costa Rica over 20 years ago. Playas del Coco became home, and over the years I didn't just design and build this property, I founded and operated one of the largest luxury property management and vacation rental companies in the Guanacaste region for 18 years. What you'll experience at Casa Timlin is the culmination of nearly two decades spent learning what makes a high-end vacation truly work: service, comfort, and consistency.

In 2024, I sold my company and traded my flip-flops and beach lifestyle for the tranquility of the rainforest. I now live about 90 minutes away near the Río Celeste waterfall, where I develop real estate and personally manage every guest stay at Casa Timlin.

In my free time I'm with my two boys, riding motorcycles, dancing salsa, merengue, and bachata, traveling, and building custom furniture from prestigious local hardwoods, many pieces of which you'll see and use throughout Casa Timlin. When you stay here, you're living with the things I've built by hand.

This isn't just another rental. It's a home, professionally maintained, supported by a seasoned local team, and backed by a deep foundation in hospitality. Every detail reflects the care, comfort, and quality every guest deserves, and about 30% of our guests care enough to come back.

It will be my honor to host you and your family at Casa Timlin. I look forward to personally welcoming you at check-in and sharing this little piece of paradise with you.

Tim Ellis

Why they chose this property

Playas del Coco drew me in over twenty years ago and never let go. It's one of the few places in Guanacaste with a real, living local town right alongside the beach. Casa Timlin sits in the hills just above yet you're only five minutes from the supermarket, pharmacy, bank, and a great mix of local sodas and beachfront restaurants.

What I love most is the balance: spend the morning on the water, then come home to total quiet and privacy above the bay. Everything close by, without ever losing the calm that makes Costa Rica feel like Costa Rica.
